| Anyone know about these? I hear they are favored among the under-informed, over-opinionated set. |

| Hmm never heard of them, are they any good? Maybe someone can bump every thread on here and let us know if they like them? |

| I prefer Zinsco or Federal Pacific over Square D QO. |

| Breakers? Breakers? Real protection is provided by fuses. Don't need any of that stinking NM either. K&T worked fine for me back in 19-diggity-2 and it works for me today. |

| "Where did you hear this?" Careful observation of posts on this forum. |

| lbpod, if you want a 100a fpe stablok panel circa 1959, you can buy me a 200a 40 space qo, the breakers, 50' 250 kcmil se cable, disconnect and metersocket. you can have the old bx se cable and everything else, but the disconnect i think is sqd. ronnatalie, k& t would be safe if it had a ground wire and 90c jacket. it is less of a fire hazard when overloaded because it was supported by porcelain insulators. k&t is better se cable than triplex because of the insulators keeping the wires apart. my old stuff was actually copper. |

Explain to me how a ground wire would improve the safety of K&T wiring?
Explain how 90C insulation would help when it installed properly. |
RE: SquareD QO
| | |
| the ground would allow grounded recs. 90c wire wont dry or melt with the heat from the lights. |

| I agree with smithy123 a ground wire would protect you from groundfaults. I also think that SquareD is a very reliable product. |
RE: SquareD QO finally!

| Finally, someone that agrees with me! |
RE: GreenLee tools

| GreenLee tools are a strong, and durable tool that will stay that way through many jobs. |

| "I agree with smithy123 a ground wire would protect you from groundfaults." So would a GFCI device in the installation. |
